Renewable energy and data-centres

The large data centres that store the photos, chats or video streaming we use every day use a large amount of energy to power. Since 2010 Greenpeace has been calling on major internet companies to stop depending on dirty energy like coal. Leading IT companies like Apple, Facebook and Google are embracing innovation and committing to 100% renewable energy.

Sign the petition to tell Netflix to commit to sourcing their power from 100% renewables rather than dirty energy like coal.

See the US EPA's Green Power Partners - the 1,400 organisations collectively use more than 35 billion kWh of green power annually, equivalent to the electricity use of more than 3.3 million average American homes. [EPA (US)]

Tax Evasion

Google, Amazon, Apple and other tech multinationals have been criticised for avoiding tax, and attacking global plans to stamp out artificial corporate structures used to avoid tax. Tax evasion deprives everyday people of vital services. These funds are needed to pay for education and healthcare.
In 2011 Google paid just $74,176 in Australian tax despite making an estimated $1 billion in revenue from the Australian market.
